Brooke was last seen on "All My Children's" final ABC network airing, in September 2011. She came back briefly to reprise her role as the show bowed out of network television.
Brooke will join previously announced "AMC" cast members including Darnell Williams (Jesse Hubbard), Debbi Morgan (Dr. Angela Hubbard), Vincent Irizarry (Dr. David Hayward), Lindsay Hartley (Cara Martin), Jordi Vilasuso (Griffin Castillo), Jill Larson (Opal Cortlandt) and Thorsten Kaye (Zach Slater).
